LUKE WILSON: One very challenging thing this year was balancing school, sports, and friends. I had to learn that sometimes I need to choose homework or sleep over other, more fun things.

PAYTON USERY: The most challenging subject this year was Science. I grew from this challenge by going in for extra help and asking good questions.

HUDSON BAIRD: The most challenging part was probably managing my time throughout all my classes and assignments. The most challenging unit was probably the Language Arts unit on short stories. I grew from this by perfecting my analytical skills.

Of all the books you read during your time at perimeter school, which was your favorite? Why?

RYLIE RICHARDSON: Sam the Minuteman from second grade because we got to do a play about it!
